Mario/Monkey carts Shibuya

We decided to catch the train into Shibuya for the day and arrived ok and in time.

One of Japan's unofficial landmarks, the Hachiko statue in Shibuya is a homage to the faithful Akita dog who waited at Shibuya Station every day for his master, even after his death. Today, it’s one of the most popular meeting places in Tokyo.

Well I finally got to do my Mario/Monkey cart ride through the streets of Japan, it was one of the most exhilarating amazing experience I have had.

I didn’t dress up as they advised super hot and people have fainted before during the drive.

The other 3 people cancelled so it was only me and the guide, after he found out I had driven go-carts before he took me down some different places where we could actually drive the carts to their fullest extent, small twisty streets with a few sharp corners and a couple of cool chicanes, we just went flat out when ever we could.

Driving through the actual street of Tokyo in a go-cart was a unique feeling.

I just followed his lead and it was the best day.
Many photos were taken when we stopped but couldn’t do videos, part of their rules due to not using camera/phone while driving.
Waiting for the light to change in Shibuya crossing, waving to people and them taking our photos throughout the drive.

I was booked for 1 hour but he went over by 15 minutes as we were having so much fun.

If I ever get back here again he has told me he has a more advanced area with better streets, still in this area that he would like to take me.

The last photo is the route we took.Read more
